Hu Guiyang, the "owner of the house", was not in vain, the east and west factories really sent him a lot of work, and they only kept peace for less than two days, and the two sides began to fight for territory.

The middle hall is built by the East Factory, which has been arranged with a large number of machine boxes, its ownership is undisputed, the East Cross Courtyard lives the palace maid sent by the East Palace, there is no dispute, the front yard, the wings on both sides of the second courtyard and the entire backyard have become the target of the captains of the two factories.

The East Factory came early and occupied a part of the room for rest, but Wang Zhi acted sharply, personally led the team into Zhao's house, occupied almost all the side rooms, and used to house the guns, so that the residence became a big problem, and the two factories wanted to occupy the largest and best rooms.

These two people often refuse to come forward, and every time they get the news, they throw down the same sentence, "Go to the owner of the house to decide." ”

Hu Guiyang is not tired of this, his method of resolving disputes is very simple, regardless of the reason, regardless of the east and west factories, all called to the front yard to drink, and until both sides are forgiven at the same time.

The only two servants were busy, this meal had just been prepared, and they had to prepare the next meal, but fortunately, Mrs. Hua often found people to come over to help, and she was responsible for purchasing and supplying the corresponding things, which reduced a lot of burden.

Hu Guiyang not only greatly increased his skills, but also drank much more than before, dozens of bowls were not drunk, but he had to go to the toilet frequently, so that he got the title of "Leaky Captain", he didn't care after hearing about it, but boasted: "Leaking wine is better than leaking water, at least it means that I can afford to drink." ”

On the morning of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Mrs. Hua personally brought a cart of food and asked Lao Qiang to invite Hu Guiyang, and as soon as they met, she said: "Although you have said it several times, I still have to ask: The two factories are responsible for the food money of so many people, right?" ”

"Of course, they are all people from the two factories, who will pay if they don't pay?"

"Where's the money? It's been ten days, and I haven't seen a penny, and all I use is my family's silver, and my family is small, and I can't afford to toss it like this. ”

Hu Guiyang scratched his head, "Today and tomorrow are two days of the festival, I have nowhere to ask for silver to go - before the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, how about it?" ”

Mrs. Hua nodded, "This is like the words, the bills are all with me, and the east and west factories can go to reconcile at any time." ”

Ordinary people do everything possible to avoid the factory guards, and the lady is a little afraid, but in order to ask for money, she is very bold, even if the emperor owes debts, she dares to ask.

"Don't worry, I will never let the Hua family suffer."

"Speaking of losses, how about the palace maid Ding?"

"That's good. What does she have to do with suffering? Who suffers? ”

"Of course it's a palace maid Ding, a good girl, a character who came out of the imperial palace, but married into your family to be a nameless side room, and caught up with your family to make a commotion, there is no serious appearance, do you say she suffers?"

"Well, it's a bit of a loss. It's okay, I'll make it up to her when it's all over. ”

"How to compensate?"

"Find a good family and marry her as a wife."

Mrs. Hua raised her eyebrows and raised her hand to fight, "What do you say?" You spoil ...... people."

Hu Guiyang laughed quietly: "It's not bad, she's still fine." ”

The flower lady was full of suspicion, "You ......"

"I'm married, I don't want to hurt anyone, I'm not a literati, and I'm not a rich man with a lot of money, what kind of side room do I want?"

"The palace maid Ding is the maid next to the princess, not if you want to send it away, if you want to, you can send it away."

"So let's wait until this matter is over, at that time, the palace maid will be an ordinary folk girl, and she has nothing to do with the princess."

Mrs. Hua shook her head, "Although you are well-intentioned, you will offend the princess, you think about it, there are not many people who are willing to help you." ”

"If I'm right, the princess will be willing. In short, please help me find a suitable person, but don't reveal the rumors yet, I don't want to cause trouble now. ”

"Well, I'll see."

"By the way, you haven't seen the appearance of the palace maid Ding, have you?"

"No, she was wearing a hijab that day? But I've heard that she doesn't look picky, does she? ”

Hu Guiyang nodded, "It's definitely first-class." ”

"That's good."

"Don't say that you went out of my house, it will only add to the trouble."

"Can that be said? Well, I'm starting to think about who's the right fit. No, it's too bold, I'll have to think about it. ”

"Think slowly, don't be in a hurry anyway."

Mrs. Hua turned around to leave, but immediately stopped, "I forgot one thing, someone outside wants to see you, saying that it is your acquaintance, and I have been waiting for you for two days." ”

"What acquaintances...... Oh, I see, how many? ”

"Eight or nine, one is weirder than the other, if I were you, I would make an excuse not to see you."

"There's no way, I promised to come down a long time ago, I can't see it."

Hu Guiyang sent the flower lady to the gate, looked out, and sure enough, he saw Xiao Killing Xiong and others, so he waved his hand and said, "I'm here!" ”

Xiao Shouxiong ran over in a few steps, "You still dare to see me?" ”

"Why not? You're no match for me. ”

"Hey, but you're such a big shelf, we've been waiting since noon yesterday, you want to play tricks, right?"

"I'm all here, what are you doing? Come on, who's going to compete with me? You don't need to say, I saw Prince Dan. ”

"His name is Zhang Haogu, and he doesn't let others call him by his old name."

"It doesn't matter who it is, after the New Year, call everyone over, eat first, and then compete."

"Eat?"

"Today is the Chinese New Year's Eve, since you are here, you are my guests, of course, you have to entertain a wine meal."

"That'...... Thank you. Xiao Kill Xiong's flabby face was a little embarrassed.

Hu Guiyang beckoned to Zhang Yi and the others, and said loudly: "I promised that if I don't go out of the gate for a while, I won't welcome you, so come over by yourself." ”

Zhao Aqi and others came, Hu Guiyang had already seen most of them, and said to Qiu Lianshi: "I haven't seen you for many days, haven't you joined the church with your brother?" ”

"We brothers go our separate ways."

"Then you can be my guest." Hu Guiyang arched his hand, and then stopped the last person, "Who is this, I don't seem to have seen it." ”

"Forest dyeing."

Hu Guiyang suddenly realized, "It turned out to be you, it's really ...... You and Xiao Kill Bear have changed the most, and you ...... now"

Hu Guiyang was a little confused, this Lin Layer Ran was a figure with a very unclear position when he stepped on several boats.

"I'm now in exile, free." Lin Layer said with a smile, understanding what Hu Guiyang meant.

Everyone entered the door, there was only one room in the front yard as a temporary living room, Hu Guiyang set up a banquet here to entertain guests, Lao Qiang, Lao Ma was accustomed to it, and soon prepared a table of wine and food, which was not exquisite, but there were fish and meat, quite hearty.

The table is not big enough, the nine people are a little crowded, but the atmosphere is good, everyone recalls the various deeds of the Yiren period, and they all feel like a world away, Zhang Yi was originally the leader of the Yiren, the most proud, but now he has become a humble gentleman, drinking silently and not talking much.

Hu Guiyang specially toasted him and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to drink at the same table with Prince Dan." ”

"Don't mention the word 'Prince Dan', it's hard to be ashamed, it's good that our brothers are commensurate."

"Okay, Brother Zhang, please drink this cup full."

The two drank all the wine in the cup, and Hu Guiyang said again: "Brother Zhang has made miraculous achievements, and he is not an official in the court, how can he be in the mood to come out and associate with the brothers in the rivers and lakes." ”

Zhang Yi's face was slightly red, "I was harmed by the three words 'Prince Dan', and the palace offset my merits and demerits, and allowed me to go home and live idle." ”

"Hey, we're treated the same." The name 'Prince Dan' was given by yourself, and some people said at the time that it meant 'Prince Dan', what do you think? Hu Guiyang asked curiously.

Zhang Yi's face turned even redder, and he said vaguely: "It's casual, it doesn't mean anything." ”

"Have you seen those eunuchs again? They adore you so much, and they kidnapped me a while ago. ”

"No, not one. I don't know anything about the kidnapping......" Zhang's face became redder and redder.

Xiao Shouxiong put down a large piece of meat in his hand and reminded: "Zhang Yi, you have to be careful, Hu Guiyang knows that he wants to compete with you, and he is afraid that he is not an opponent, so he will use a plan to attack your heart in advance, which will make you flustered." ”

Hu Guiyang laughed, "I can't imagine that among all of you here, you are the smartest." ”

"I'm not smart, I just don't believe you." Xiao killed the bear to eat and drink, but he didn't appreciate it.

Hu Guiyang toasted another glass of wine, "Please Brother Zhang, don't think about it, but I do feel a little strange: ordinary aliens practice at great speed, but it is only relatively fast, and in the end, the skills are not as good as mortals, Li Ou's skills are stronger, the exercises come from the records in the tomb of the Yuyu people, and my skills come from the jade pendant, which is stronger......"

"I don't think you were the one who cheated that night...... Forget it, I won't say much. Leo buried his head in the food.

"Concession." Hu Guiyang bowed his hand to Li Ou, and then said to Zhang: "Since Brother Zhang came to me to compete, he must think that his skills are not weak, what kind of exercises are you practicing?" ”

Everyone else also looked at Zhang Yi, they had preconceived notions, thinking that the skill of "Prince Dan" must be the first in the alien, until Hu Guiyang mentioned it, they figured out one thing: After losing their divine power, everyone is mortal, unless there is another chance, no one's skill will be too strong.

Zhang Yi played with the wine glass, and seemed reluctant to answer the question.

"Zhang, you really have to explain." Xiao Killing Xiong opened his mouth and urged.

After waiting for a while, Zhang Yi put down his wine glass, "It seems that I can't hide it, in fact, I haven't practiced the same exercises over the years, and I am an ordinary mortal." ”

Everyone was taken aback, and Xiao Killing Xiong was especially surprised, "You, you...... Then you still have to compete for me? You can't even fight a finger of Hu Guiyang. ”

"My plan is to fight wits but not strength, and let Hu Guiyang admit defeat by himself."

"How is this possible? You're trying to kill me. Xiao Killing Xiong was furious, got up, and was dragged back by Jiang Dongxia next to him.

Zhang Yi's face turned red, "What's impossible?" Hu Guiyang proposed the competition, in fact, he intended to hand over the jade pendant, and what was missing was just an excuse, and I could provide this excuse. Now it seems that it is not me who he needs. ”

The table was speechless.

Hu Guiyang suddenly burst into laughter, "Blame me, blame me for messing up a good show in advance." But Brother Zhang did guess correctly, I want to hand over the jade pendant, this thing is a disaster, I don't want to keep it in my hands. ”

"Give it to me, it's mine." Xiao Kill Bear stretched out his hand.

Hu Guiyang shook his head, "No, if you give it to you, it will harm you, just like a sword, I can't just hand over a murderous weapon to a child, the other party must at least be a master who is good at dancing and swords." ”

Xiao Shouxiong thought for a while, "You say I'm a child?" ”

"I said you're not a master."

Xiao Killing Xiong was dissatisfied, but he couldn't argue with it, so he could only drink stupidly.

Hu Guiyang said to Li Ou: "Brother Li is still a little close. ”

Leo sneered and didn't argue.

Hu Guiyang's gaze swept over Zhao Aqi and the others successively, but they didn't stop, and finally landed on Qiu Lianshi and Lin Layer Ran, looking back and forth a few times, staring at Lin Layer Dye, "Is there a mechanism in the umbrella?" ”

"Hmm. But I'm not here to ask for a jade pendant. ”

"But you're not free either." Hu Guiyang said with a smile, he knows a lot about Lin Layer Dyeing, this is a military official, and he doesn't like the real career in the rivers and lakes, but whenever he has a little opportunity, he must find a backer for himself.

"Hey, hey." Lin Layer Ran smiled dryly.

Hu Guiyang took out the jade pendant, "The wine is almost drunk, who will take the jade?" ”

Xiao Killing Xiong didn't want to pretend anymore, got up and lifted the table, and shouted, "What are you waiting for? Do it! ”
